Topic: Greetings from MA (Read 405 times)

New to prepping. After going thru my second winter in a row of losing electricity for a week or so (others in the area for even longer) I realized prepping was what I wanted to do. Sure am glad I got a wood stove to keep warm. Anyone else dealing with a spouse who thinks they are crazy?

Much less so after Hurricane Sandy. We were the only house in the neighborhood with running water for a week after the storm. While most have generators, we all have deep wells and nobody else had their pump wired to the generator circuit.

In spite of the spousal mockery, I had saved a variety of containers that I gave away to neighbors who hadn't thought about water beyond bottles of mineral water from the supermarket, and I put a a food-grade hose on the spigot in front of the house so neighbors could fill up as they needed.

It never got so bad here that I had to break out any serious stores, but I know that the Mrs. appreciated that our lifestyle never really missed a beat and that we could help others.
